Course Overview

Pipe networks in Civil 3D come in two distinct types with different design logic and different toolsets — gravity systems (storm drain, sanitary sewer) and pressure systems (water distribution, force mains). Modeling either correctly requires working knowledge of parts lists, design rules, and Civil 3D's pipe layout and editing tools. This one-day course covers both, giving engineers who design utility infrastructure a focused, practical grounding in Civil 3D pipe modeling. The course works through gravity pipe networks first: configuring parts lists and design rules, and laying out and editing networks in plan and profile. It then covers pressure pipe networks: catalog-based parts configuration and layout techniques. The session closes with geometry preparation for export to Storm Sewers (Hydraflow) and Storm and Sanitary Analysis — so your Civil 3D model feeds cleanly into downstream flow analysis. Note: operating SSA or Hydraflow Extensions is not covered in this course. This is a one-day course with a certified instructor and a maximum of 12 students in-person. Civil 3D Introduction and AutoCAD Level I and II are required prerequisites. By the end, you'll be able to model gravity and pressure pipe networks in Civil 3D and prepare them for flow analysis.

Yes. Civil 3D Pipe Modeling is offered as a live, instructor-led online class as well as in person at our Walnut Creek and Sacramento, California training centers. Online sessions cover the same curriculum.

What are the prerequisites for Civil 3D Pipe Modeling?

Civil 3D Introduction or some working experience with Civil 3D.

How long is Civil 3D Pipe Modeling?

Civil 3D Pipe Modeling runs 1 day. The exact dates and times for each scheduled session are listed on this page.

What's included with Civil 3D Pipe Modeling?

Civil 3D Pipe Modeling includes live instruction from an Autodesk-certified instructor, downloadable course materials and exercise files, a certificate of completion, and three months of free post-class support.

Which software does Civil 3D Pipe Modeling cover?

Civil 3D Pipe Modeling covers Civil 3D. You'll work hands-on in the software throughout the class.

Is CAD Masters an Authorized Autodesk Training Center?

Yes. CAD Masters is an Autodesk Authorized Training Center (ATC) and one of the longer-standing ATCs in California. That designation means our curriculum, instructors, and facilities meet Autodesk's certification standards.

Who developed the course curriculum?

Our courses are written and continuously updated by our own certified instructors, not licensed from a generic training publisher. The exercises and workflows reflect how these tools are actually used in engineering, architecture, and design practice.

What's included with enrollment?

Every enrollment includes access to course materials developed by our instructors, a Certificate of Completion from an Autodesk Authorized Training Center, and access to your portal account where you can review materials after the course.

How large are the classes?

In-person sessions at our Walnut Creek and Sacramento locations are capped at 12 students so every student gets direct access to the instructor. Online sessions run live over Zoom with full interaction, not pre-recorded video.

Do you offer group or private training?

Yes. We run private sessions for teams and organizations: same curriculum, scheduled to fit your calendar, and tailored to your workflows when needed. Contact us for group pricing.

Can I attend online?

Yes. Our online sessions run live over Zoom with full instructor interaction and screen sharing, not pre-recorded video. The experience is equivalent to attending in person.
